Abstract
Widescale adoption of intelligent algorithms requires that Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineers provide assurances that an algorithm will perform as intended. Providing such guarantees involves quantifying capabilities and the associated risks across multiple dimensions including: data quality, algorithm performance, statistical considerations, trustworthiness, security, as well as explainability. In this article we suggest a path forward for the formalization of AI assurance, including its key components.
